Uploading (very) large images to Micrio
Large images can often be many GBs to upload, and depending on the file format, can take a long time for Micrio to succesfully process.
For uploading these images, we advice you to convert your source image to a Tiled Pyramid TIFF. This is a TIFF format that internally consists of already-tiled JPG fragments, and is the best balance between file size and quality, and works best with Micrio's own tilers.
To convert to this format, follow these steps:
- Install LibVips on your computer
- Open a command prompt/terminal, and go to the folder your image (let's say
very-large.psb
) is located - Next, create the Tiled Pyramid TIFF:sh
vips tiffsave very-large.psb very-large.tif --compression jpeg --Q 75 --pyramid --tile --tile-width 1024 --tile-height 1024
vips tiffsave very-large.psb very-large.tif --compression jpeg --Q 75 --pyramid --tile --tile-width 1024 --tile-height 1024
- Upload
very-large.tif
to the Micrio dashboard, and it should be processed in a few minutes!
